20世纪80年代初,平川县为了加快发展,决定设立“月海镇”。李秋萍与郑德诚两名能力及个性突出的干部,秉着“人民城市人民建”的理念,借助改革开放政策和中央一号文件找到了改革的办法,带领成千上万的农民,在没用国家一分钱的情况下,以“集资、合伙”的创举,在滩涂之上建起一座现代 化的城市。这是一段从无到有的造城奇迹,更是中国建城史上的一次壮举,几十万农民的命运因此得以改变。李秋萍、郑德诚、解春来、高雪梅等造城者敢想敢干、敢为人先,在阳光灿烂的80年代谱写了华丽的篇章。
Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
